Intercomp Introduces First Wireless Load Stick to Racing Market

Minneapolis – Intercomp is proud to introduce the RFX® Wireless Suspension Load Stick, the first wireless load stick in the racing industry. This effective setup tool is enhanced with RFX® Wireless Weighing Technology, eliminating the cabled indicator currently utilized by most load sticks on the market. Without a cable to mind, our Load Stick allows racers to concentrate on obtaining the correct measurement and less about breaking an indicator cable and rendering the tool useless. Individual load sticks are also available without an indicator, allowing single- or dual-load stick system to be expanded later.

Load sticks mounted on all four corners of a racecar help provide a picture of the racecar’s load distribution in different chassis attitudes. This allows racers to determine the exact spring rates needed to get the car into the dynamic ride heights needed to carry maximum speed and momentum through a turn. The two-load stick system allows a racer to collect dynamic load data at left-side, right-side, or opposing corners of the car. These can be critical measurements that can mean the difference between a fast or slow car in dirt and paved oval racing.

Each Intercomp load stick has an industrial-strength 3,000 lb (1,300 kg) capacity load cell and can span shock mounting points 15-25.25 inches (381-641 mm) apart, utilizing three interchangeable bodies. Load Stick bodies are machined from tough, hex-shaped Billet Aluminum making it easier to extend and retract using hand tools. High-quality spherical rod ends with ultra low-friction PTFE inserts provide for a long service life without the need to maintain the joints with grease.  

RFX® Wireless Suspension Load Sticks can be purchased from our worldwide network of authorized distributors, individually or in sets of two and four, and include an RFX® Wireless indicator. A single load stick and indicator (Part  # 174000) allow for use at one corner of the car, similar to competing systems. The two- (Part #174001) and four-piece (Part #174002) systems allow for more complex attitude adjustment. Single Load Sticks without an indicator (Part # 174003) are also available.
